    This video excites me so much! I had no idea you could safely dig so deep down from the top of the soil level, I have many nursery trees that could be hiding treasures! Thanks for making such great content! Love watching how these trees take shape!

    This series is excellent, I'm just getting back into bonsai and watching this series has given me more information than I had before, the thought process and the description are fantastic and make total sense. Much more than the books I have can teach, thank you.

    Ba Bu I agree, but I’m referring to someone trained at his level. I trained under Boon. Usually Masters on KZread is doing demo’s on material well established or something worth a few thousand dollars. *Rightfully so. For me, it’s nice to someone at his level or skill set using something readily available is nice to see for a change.

    Ba Bu thank you. Boon like Bjorn does excellent work. You can immediately notice the difference. While it’s really exciting and insightful to work on thousand dollar material, it’s really eye opening when you learn what they would apply to Nursery stock. The reason they’re Masters comes very clear.

    Hi Ryan, thank you for all the great content you have shared. I live in Dubai and while I have had relatively good success with deciduous trees, I am keen to try my hand at some conifers- could you please share your thoughts on how I may attempt this process..summer temperatures 45 degrees centigrade and we do go down to around 10 deg in winter. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    At 03:00 you talk about the wound after tearing in comparison to cutting, but i saw in your "World Bonsai Convention 2017 Demonstration Highlights" video near the end and older man (looks like he knows what hes doing) just rips a fat superficial root with his bear hands and with a lot of force, seemed relentless. I'm curious why he did that and when is something like that acceptable?
